6shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section, file a
7return with the Department and pay the tax upon that portion of
8the selling price so paid by the purchaser during the preceding
9calendar month. When tangible personal property, including but

15the calendar month in which such property reverts to the use of
16such lessor) shall file a return with the Department and pay
17the tax upon the fair market value of such property on the date
18of such reversion. However, in determining the fair market

21property that was paid by the lessor at the time of purchase.
22Such return shall be filed on a form prescribed by the
23Department and shall contain such information as the Department
24may reasonably require. Such return and payment from the
25purchaser shall be submitted to the Department sooner than the
26last day of the month after the month in which the purchase is

1made to the extent that that may be necessary in order to
2secure the title to a motor vehicle or the certificate of
3registration for an aircraft. However, except as to motor
4vehicles and aircraft, and except as to cigarettes as defined
5in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, if the purchaser's annual use tax
6liability does not exceed $600, the purchaser may file the
7return on an annual basis on or before April 15th of the year
8following the year use tax liability was incurred. Individual
9purchasers with an annual use tax liability that does not
10exceed $600 may, in lieu of the filing and payment requirements
11in this Section, file and pay in compliance with Section 502.1
12of the Illinois Income Tax Act.
13    If cigarettes, as defined in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, are
14purchased from a retailer for use in this State by a purchaser
15who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer,
16and who does not file returns with the Department as a retailer
17under Section 9 of this Act, such purchaser must, within 30
18days after acquiring the cigarettes, file a return with the
19Department and pay the tax upon that portion of the selling
20price so paid by the purchaser for the cigarettes.

23property for use in this State, who purchases such tangible
24personal property from an out-of-state retailer, shall file

26by the Department, a return for each such item of tangible

 

 

SB1871 Enrolled- 20 -LRB100 08399 HLH 21680 b

1personal property purchased, except that if, in the same
2transaction, (i) a purchaser of motor vehicles, aircraft,
3watercraft, or trailers who is a retailer of motor vehicles,
4aircraft, watercraft, or trailers purchases more than one motor
5vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, or trailer for the purpose of
6resale or (ii) a purchaser of motor vehicles, aircraft,
7watercraft, or trailers purchases more than one motor vehicle,
8aircraft, watercraft, or trailer for use as qualifying rolling
9stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then the
10purchaser may report the purchase of all motor vehicles,
11aircraft, watercraft, or trailers involved in that transaction
12to the Department on a single return prescribed by the
13Department. Such return in the case of motor vehicles and
14aircraft must show the name and address of the seller, the
15name, address of purchaser, the amount of the selling price
16including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded in
17property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
18traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
19which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
20of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
21trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
22tax due from the purchaser with respect to such transaction;
23the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer

4such motor vehicle or aircraft is brought into this State for
5use.

11the tax that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
12Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
13officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
14titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
15if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
16that this procedure will expedite the processing of
17applications for title or registration.
18    With each such return, the purchaser shall remit the proper
19amount of tax due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that
20the sale is not taxable if that is the case), to the Department
21or its agents, whereupon the Department shall issue, in the
22purchaser's name, a tax receipt (or a certificate of exemption
23if the Department is satisfied that the particular sale is tax
24exempt) which such purchaser may submit to the agency with
25which, or State officer with whom, he must title or register
26the tangible personal property that is involved (if titling or

1registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
2application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
3title or registration to such tangible personal property.
4    When a purchaser pays a tax imposed by this Act directly to
5the Department, the Department (upon request therefor from such
6purchaser) shall issue an appropriate receipt to such purchaser
7showing that he has paid such tax to the Department. Such
8receipt shall be sufficient to relieve the purchaser from
9further liability for the tax to which such receipt may refer.
10    A user who is liable to pay use tax directly to the
11Department only occasionally and not on a frequently recurring
12basis, and who is not required to file returns with the
13Department as a retailer under Section 9 of this Act, or under
14the "Retailers' Occupation Tax Act", or as a registrant with
15the Department under the "Service Occupation Tax Act" or the
16"Service Use Tax Act", need not register with the Department.
17However, if such a user has a frequently recurring direct use
18tax liability to pay to the Department, such user shall be
19required to register with the Department on forms prescribed by
20the Department and to obtain and display a certificate of
21registration from the Department. In that event, all of the
22provisions of Section 9 of this Act concerning the filing of
23regular monthly, quarterly or annual tax returns and all of the
24provisions of Section 2a of the "Retailers' Occupation Tax Act"

2made under this subsection to use the trips or mileage method,
3the person shall be deemed to have chosen the mileage method.
4    For purposes of determining qualifying trips or miles,
5trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that carry property
6for hire, even just between points in Illinois, will be
7considered used for hire in interstate commerce if the
8trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers transport property
9whose shipments originate or terminate outside Illinois. This
10definition applies to all property purchased for the purpose of
11being attached to those trailers, semitrailers, or pole
12trailers as a part thereof. In lieu of a person providing
13documentation regarding the qualifying use of each individual
14trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer, that person may document
15such qualifying use by providing documentation of the
16following:
17        (1) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is
18    dedicated to a motor vehicle that qualifies as rolling
19    stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of
20    this Section, then that trailer, semitrailer, or pole
21    trailer qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate
22    commerce under this subsection.
23        (2) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is
24    dedicated to a group of motor vehicles that all qualify as
25    rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
26    subsection (c) of this Section, then that trailer,

4    trailers are dedicated to a group of motor vehicles and not
5    all of those motor vehicles in that group qualify as
6    rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
7    subsection (c) of this Section, then the percentage of
8    those trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that

11    motor vehicles in that group that qualify as rolling stock
12    moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this
13    Section to which those trailers, semitrailers, or pole
14    trailers are dedicated. However, to determine the
15    qualification for the exemption provided under this item
16    (3), the mathematical application of the qualifying
17    percentage to one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole
18    trailers under this subpart shall not be allowed as to any
19    fraction of a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer.
